This session will provide expert guidance across the totality of the hyperkalemia management paradigm, starting with a review of the calculus as a whole, then focusing specifically on acute care settings, with emphasis on emerging clinical trial evidence and practical pearls for implementing novel potassium binders into hospital-based care.
Learning Objectives
- Appraise key mechanisms of potassium homeostasis and review patient-centric risk factors for hyperkalemia.
- Discuss the prevalence and clinical gravity of hyperkalemia, with emphasis on acute care challenges and the morbidity/mortality impact of suboptimal renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) utilization in the chronic setting.
- Evaluate novel K+ binder (patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate [SZC]) pharmacology, safety and efficacy profiles, and differential clinical utility across the hyperkalemia treatment continuum.
- Examine evolving clinical trial data in support of patiromer and SZC for hyperkalemia management, with a particular focus on usage in acute care and in-hospital settings.
- Use a case-based approach to design treatment strategies using novel K+ binders that the interprofessional care team can employ to improve hyperkalemia outcomes in the hospital.
